ORIGIN

This 1998 Acura NSX is a stock targa model that shows just under 53k miles and is finished in Spa Yellow Pearl over black leather. The car was sold new in Virginia and remained there with its first two owners until October 2017, when it came to Maryland after its acquisiton by the seller. Power comes from a transverse-mounted 3.2-liter VTEC V6, which is mated to a 6-speed manual transaxle equipped with a limited-slip differential. A service in April 2017 included a tune-up and two new Bridgestone tires. The car is sold with a clean Carfax report and a Maryland title.

Aluminum bodywork wears Spa Yellow Pearl paint that is shown up close in several photos below. Fewer than 50 examples were produced in this exterior color for the model year, mostly targa models featuring manual transmissions. Some paintwork has taken place on the passenger fender according to the seller, and a handful of blemishes are shown in the factory front valance.

Staggered factory 7-spoke wheels are mounted with Bridgestone Potenza tires, two of which were installed in April 2017. Retractable headlights are shown both raised and lowered in photos. No accidents are shown on the Carfax report.

The black leather interior retains its original steering wheel, stereo, shifter, and instrumentation, the latter including a 190 mph speedometer and an odometer showing just under 53k miles. Approximately 1,000 miles have been driven by the seller since his purchase in October 2017. Photos show the condition of the stitched dash, door panels, and switchgear as well as an intact retractable cupholder in the center arm rest.

The mid-mounted 3.2-liter VTEC V6 made 290 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque for 1998. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox and standard limited-slip differential. A tune-up was performed by the seller’s local Acura dealer in April 2017. The seller describes a slight click in the steering system, but notes that the Electronic Power Steering warning light is not illuminated.

The Carfax report shows no accidents, thefts, or other issues over three owners, the second of whom kept the car from 2001-2017. A number of services are noted from several Virginia dealers, though paper records are unavailable.

The sale includes a factory space-saver spare tire, air compressor, and aluminum jack. The car is financed through the seller’s credit union, and the loan will need to be paid off before the title can be transferred to the new owner.
